Libuse Rose Becvar

June 12, 1999

Libuse Rose Becvar, 82, who lived her entire life in the South Lawndale neighborhood, died Tuesday at home following a long illness. Miss Becvar saw her primarily Bohemian neighborhood change ethnicities over the years, but, instead of moving away she just made new friends, her niece, Nancy Freeman, said. Miss Becvar was an executive secretary for Woolworth Corp. "She was there probably her whole working life," said Freeman, who didn't recall her aunt ever having another job. Miss Becvar was always active in her community and for years was the treasurer of the Piotrowski Park Senior Citizens Club. "She was always a very chipper bird," said Freeman. She is survived by her brother, Edward. Services were held Friday.
